PICTURES

Please forgive the horrible sequence of my pictures. It didn't get posted quite right... but they're there nonetheless.

This man works with Food for the Hungry in the U.S. While in Peru, he was able to visit his sponsored child and the child's family.
















This is my room in my host family's house. 

2-3 times a week, a water truck comes to the community and fills storage units. Each family has a trash-can-size container or a storage unit made of brick. For families that live too high in the hills to be reached, they pay their neighbors below to share their water supply. This water is used for cooking, bathing, drinking, washing clothes, etc.













This isn't a good picture to point her out but the women in the denim jacket is my country director, Rosaura... she's fabulous! 

In order to "chip" their way through the rocks, they burn a tire to loosen the area. I believe it takes 2-3 days to get through this area- to the left of the fire, up to where the smoke ends).
















This is the community of Hacia el Desarrollo. I'll be leading a team to this community in the summer. The team has chosen to adopt this community. It's an amazing opportunity for ministry! I encourage you to find out more about this program!














A closer picture of the rock burning...the 'president' of the community is on the right.  

The stage for community meetings. We are receiving an overview of the community from the community's
'president'.















Me and Rachel (my roommate from Cambodia). Behind us is a concrete area that a team from the U.S. helped the community to finish. The community uses this area for important community meetings, recreation (a good alternative for young people), and a number of other things. This project has created a greater sense of unity amongst the community members. Currently other communities use this area, they've considered renting it, as a source of income. They are so grateful this area! 

Thanksgiving

For those of you that are wondering, I'm still in the States. Currently I have 100% of my outbound support and need to raise an additional $250 in monthly pledges. Praise the Lord, I'm almost at 100% in both categories! Also, I should be getting my visa soon! I can't wait to go but until then, I'll be here celebrating the wonderful Thanksgiving holiday!

Greetings from Cambodia!!! I'm blessed to be surrounded by great beauty (& high humidity too)! I'm currently beginning my third week of hands-on training in this wonderful country.

I don't have the exact percentages for my recent support level, however, I'm around 70% monthly and just over 50% start-up costs. Praise the Lord for never ceasing to amaze me!

I'll be coming home on the 17th and I'll be ready to indulge in some good old American food. ;) I look forward to telling you all about my trip! Until then, please send me an email!

Praise the Lord, great things He has done! Currently I have 64% of my monthly commitments and about 30% of my out-bound expenses!!! I have been so encouraged by the number of churches that are interested in partnering with me in ministry! I continue to pray that individuals will jump on board. Great is thy faithfulness, oh God my Father!
